The Class of 2027 took a break from their regular classes last Thursday, and headed into the woods for their annual Freshman Hike. After shiur, the boys boarded the buses together with their rebbeim and enjoyed the challenging trail.

Along the way they participated in a series of team building activities and had the chance to win MTA swag. After a quick stop at 7-11 to refuel, the talmidim enjoyed playing sports and eating a delicious BBQ in a nearby park. Ninth grade Mashgiach Rabbi Eli Cohn siad, “It was really great to see the guys begin to gel together as a grade. The hike is always a key part of our freshman experience carefully crafted to help each talmid feel part of the MTA family.”
